Received as email, please send it to your deplorable friends and family, and undecideds

Received as email | November 4, 2016

"Last night a friend claimed that Donald Trump wouldn’t make a good president; he is brash, he is racist, he is a loudmouth; you know the normal things people learn to recite after being programmed by television news.

The one I loved was that, “Trump is arrogant.

” My friend questioned if one man could make “that much difference in the world today.” To my friend's credit, she was respectful enough to let me respond when she asked, “Really, what has Trump done?”

I said, “In June of last year, Trump entered the race for president. In just a little over a year, Trump has single handedly defeated the Republican party.

He did so thoroughly. In fact, he did so in such a resounding way that the Republican Party now suffers from an identity crisis. He literally dismantled the party.

Trump even dismantled and dismissed the brand and value of the Bush family.

Trump has Obama petrified that Trump will dismiss programs that weren’t properly installed using proper law. Trump has single handedly debunked and disemboweled any value of news media as we knew it—news now suffering from an all-time level of distrust and disrespect.

Trump has leaders from all over the world talking about him, whether good or bad.

Trust me, powerful men who have been president before weren’t liked by the global community.

I doubt Mikhail Gorbachev liked Reagan when Reagan said, "Tear down that wall."

Trump has expressly disclosed the fraud perpetrated on the American public by Hillary Clinton.

He has, quite literally, brought Hillary to her knees—if you believe that nervous tension and disorders offer physical side effects and damage.
Trump has unified the silent majority in a way that should be patently frightening to “liberals.”

As the press accuses Trump of being a house of cards, Trump has proven the press is the real house of cards.

He has whipped up the entire establishment into pure panic. Trump has exposed them for who they are and worse, what they are.

George Clooney was right when he said Trump draws live news coverage of his podium that he’s not yet approached.

Thanks, George, you were perfectly correct. What we see as headline news today are actually the last bubbles from the ship that is now sunk—meaning the standard news media, as a propaganda machine, has been exposed.

They have no more value.

In the same way Trump asked the African-American community this question, I asked my friend, ”At this point, what do you have to lose?”
We have mass cop shootings, riots in our streets, ambushed cops, double digit inflation, bombs blowing up in our cities, targeted police, #BLM, a skyrocketing jobless rate, no economic growth, privately owned land being seized by the federal government, the worst racial tension in my lifetime, no God in schools, more abortions than ever, illegal aliens pouring into our country, sick veterans receiving no care, and a debt that doubled in seven years to $19 trillion.

Are you really happy with the condition of the current system?

One man has done all of this in one year—one guy, and on his own dime.

And with everything I’ve written above, you believe Trump hasn't done anything?

You claim that you are afraid of Donald Trump? No wonder we’re in trouble. You can say that Trump is a lousy presidential candidate. That’s your right.

Just don’t ever say he’s not effective.

That Megan Kelly, FOX News, CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, Rachel Maddow, the Huffington Post, the New York Times, Raleigh’s News and Observer, the AP, Don Lemon, Jake Tapper, and many more, failed to implement their collectively orchestrated lie on the American people against Trump, is actually a massive testament to Trump.

The press colluded pure propaganda to accomplish his demise … and they have collectively failed and miserably.

Here's just one example of how badly America is injured right now.
There are high school football players on their knees during the national anthem simply because the press used as propaganda to program those kids to do that very thing.

But, these kids are mimicking NFL stars the same way the same kids chooses which brand of football shoe to purchase—they're overtly brain-washed to do that very thing.

Now, we have a generation of children who hate America.
America’s problem isn’t that little children are on their knee in collective disrespect of America.

Our problem is that America is on her knee from collective disrespect by Americans.

You can disrespect America all you want. But, it’s high-time you respect the silent majority.

Because they’re not simply the “silent majority” as you’ve been trained to believe when Hillary calls them “deplorables.

” The fact is, they are simply the majority. And now they're no longer silent either.

Donald Trump changed all of that, single-handedly and within one year.This needs to be read and spread!

Trump's Election Will Ignite an American Economic Boom

After the election of Ronald Reagan in 1981, the U.S. Economy experienced one of its greatest booms in history. The growth rate averaged nearly 4 percent for seven years 1982–89. And the stock market rose from less than 1,000 on the Dow to more than 10,000 over the next two decades. This was a period of wealth and job creation that the nation and middle class had seldom seen before. All the liberal critics wrongly said it could not and would not happen.
Now the question is: Could it happen again in this era of massive government debt, meager growth, and flatlined incomes for the middle class? The answer is “yes.” With the right set of policy fixes, we can see a return to wage gains, higher profits (which means a bull run on stocks), and rapid growth in output.
Since the end of the recession, economic growth has averaged an anemic 2 percent, producing the weakest “recovery” since the Great Depression. Over the past year, growth has slowed to an even more anemic 1.5 percent. This is barely staying out of recession. America can do much better.
One thing is sure: Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have almost diametrically opposite economic plans. Clinton will raise taxes. Trump will cut them. Clinton has vowed to defend President Obama’s “legacy” and double down on job-killers such as Obamacare....

Sex crimes with children, child exploitation, money laundering, perjury, and pay to play, reads the partial list of crimes that, say New York City Police Department sources, could “put Hillary and her crew away for life.”
Shocking evidence of such criminality has been found on ex-congressman Anthony Weiner’s laptop computer, say the sources, which was seized from him by NYC officials investigating his allegedly having sent sexually explicit texts to a 15-year-old girl. Moreover, Hillary Clinton’s “crew” supposedly includes not just close aide and confidante Huma Abedin and her husband, Weiner, but other aides and insiders — and even members of Congress. Reports True Pundit:
NYPD sources said these new emails include evidence linking Clinton herself and associates to:
• Money laundering
• Child exploitation
• Sex crimes with minors (children)
• Perjury
• Pay to play through Clinton Foundation
• Obstruction of justice
• Other felony crimes

Get off your high horse, Hillary. Only ONE candidate is up to her neck in FBI probes...

When I competed in Donald Trump’s first season of Celebrity Apprentice, he pitched me in the finale against country music star Trace Adkins.
NBC promoted our showdown in endless commercials as ‘USA versus UK, good versus evil.’
Trace was portrayed as a strong, kind, polite, hard-working, all-American hero.
I was depicted as an arrogant, obnoxious, ruthless British villain.
There was just one problem, as I pointed out to Trump in a boardroom exchange that tragically never got aired.
‘One of us,’ I explained, ‘is a violent alcoholic who’s been shot by an ex-wife, stabbed in bar-room knife fights, and has a criminal record for a DUI.’
I paused for effect.
‘The other…. is me…. the bad guy.’
Trump roared with laughter. He got the irony, even if viewers never got the chance to.
I was reminded of this today as I watched President Obama tear into Trump, branding him a small-brained, star-f***ing, Ku Klux Klan tolerating ‘loser’ born with a silver spoon in his mouth....

Total Desperation Sets In as President Obama Plays the Woman Card

With neither the racist nor the Putin-puppet label sticking to Trump, team Clinton and its lobotomized surrogates have regressed back to square one: playing the woman card.
As I noted in a post earlier this week, a professor of linguistics at Berkeley just published an article at Time claiming (with zero evidence of course), that the Hillary Clinton email server scandal only exists because she is a woman. Here’s a brief snippet of what she said:
:: ‘It’s not about emails; it’s about public communication by a woman’
I am mad. I am mad because I am scared. And if you are a woman, you should be, too. Emailgate is a bitch hunt, but the target is not Hillary Clinton. It’s us.
The only reason the whole email flap has legs is because the candidate is female. Can you imagine this happening to a man? Clinton is guilty of SWF (Speaking While Female), and emailgate is just a reminder to us all that she has no business doing what she’s doing and must be punished, for the sake of all decent women everywhere. There is so much of that going around.
It’s not about emails; it’s about public communication by a woman in general. Of course, in the year 2016, no one (probably not even The Donald) could make this argument explicitly. After all, he and his fellow Republicans are not waging a war on women. How do we know that? They have said so. And they’re men, so they must be telling the truth.
::
know. It’s really hard to believe the above is real, but it is.
Moving along, President Obama himself is now getting in the mud.
Here’s what he had to say today in Ohio, according to NBC:
::
COLUMBUS, Ohio — President Barack Obama said Tuesday that sexism is to blame for the tight race for the White House, telling an Ohio crowd that “Hillary Clinton is consistently treated differently than just about any other candidate I see out there.”
Obama went on: “There’s a reason we haven’t had a woman president.”
Speaking specifically to “the guys out there,” Obama told them to “look inside yourself and ask yourself, if you’re having problems with this stuff how much of it is that we’re just not used to it?”

New polls show Trump's lead growing in Texas

WASHINGTON — Two polls released Thursday indicated that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has expanded his lead in Texas with just five days to go.
A joint poll from NBC News, The Wall Street Journal and Marist College put Trump up over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton 49 percent to 40 percent among likely voters in Texas. Libertarian Gary Johnson garnered 6 percent in the poll, and 2 percent of respondents said they are voting for Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
Trump’s lead shrank to 4 points among the larger universe of registered voters in Texas, at 45 percent to 41 percent. But pollsters tend to attribute more precision to the likely-voter tally, which takes into consideration whether respondents say they plan to vote or have in past elections.
Among those likely voters, 54 percent said they have already cast their ballots in early voting, and Trump led that group by 10 points, 52 percent to 42 percent.

Politico Reporter Gets Caught AGAIN Sending A Story To A Clinton Staffer For Approval

For the second time in less than a month Politico chief political correspondent Glenn Thrush has been caught sending stories to Hillary Clinton staffers for approval!

Thrush sent an email to Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri on April 17, 2015 with the subject line: “pls read asap — the [Jennifer Palmieri] bits — don’t share.” This was revealed in Thursday’s WikiLeaks release of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails. It is included in Podesta’s emails as Palmieri shared the email with several other Clinton staffers, including campaign manager Robby Mook and Podesta.
The eight paragraphs that Thrush sent Palmieri were filled with glowing sentences about her. She wrote in the forwarded email to Clinton staffers, “He did me courtesy of sending what he is going to say about me. Seems fine.”
The paragraphs about Palmieri ended up largely unchanged in the column, “Quiet, please. Hillary’s running,” a piece focused on Clinton’s press strategy.
In a previous email chain released by WikiLeaks, Thrush asked Podesta to look over a portion of a story pertaining to him. The Politico reporter in the email called himself a “hack” and said “please don’t share.”(RELATED: Politico Reporter Sends Story To Hillary Aide For Approval, Admits He’s A ‘Hack’)
In another email released by WikiLeaks, Thrush practically apologized to Podesta for the “human impact” of a “shitty” story he had written. (RELATED: Thrush Says He Takes No Pleasure In His ‘Sh**ty’ Stories In Podesta Email)
The Daily Caller has asked Politico if they stand by what seems to be a habitual practice by Thrush of asking Clinton staffers for approval. Politico spokesman Brad Dayspring said: “Politico’s policy is to not share editorial content pre-publication except as approved by editors. In this case the reporter was trying to ensure the accuracy of biographical details, and as such shared a couple of paragraphs that included those details from a much larger story (which was not shared). There were no substantive changes to the piece.”
Dayspring added, “There’s no approval implied anywhere in that exchange. He sent her read-back because she wasn’t answer[sic] calls, and wanted to make sure he got details right.”
The Daily Caller asked Politico if Thrush’s actions were so innocent why did he ask both Palmieri and Podesta not to share what he was doing. Thrush replied, “because I was working around the press office — Fallon et al – and didn’t want people knowing I was talking directly to campaign officials.”

Email Shows Hillary Camp's Fears About Bill's Sex Scandals

NEW YORK – An email in a new batch of hacked documents released Monday by WikiLeaks shows the concern of some Hillary Clinton’s campaign staffers about the impact her husband’s voluminous sex scandals have on her bid for the White House.

An email to John Podesta – among more than 2,000 released Monday from the account of the Clinton campaign chairman – advised silencing anyone in the campaign who tells media that the former president should be used sparingly because he could be detrimental to Hillary’s run for the White House.

Rigged Polls: Tests Show College Grads Conceal Support For Donald Trump!

A large percentage of college graduates are hiding their support for Donald Trump, according to test surveys of 309 college graduates conducted by Morning Consult. That hidden support for Trump could be providing Hillary Clinton a false, 2-point advantage in election polls, according to the polling firm's results.
The public's practice of hiding support for Trump comes as the Internet's expansion helps progressives identify and penalize the professionals and other white-collar Americans who privately champion conservative policies and ideas. Even high-status professionals, such as software designer Brendan Eich, have been exposed, outed and professionally harmed in his Internet-enabled era of "fishbowl politics" after angering peers who are progressives.

BREAKING: Comey Mandates All FBI Agents Report to D.C. Offices

FBI Director James Comey issued a mandate late Thursday instructing all available special agents from the Washington D.C. field office and Hoover Building headquarters to report to work immediately, federal law enforcement sources told True Pundit.
“We’re preparing for many arrests from the top down,” the FBI source said. “I cannot elaborate beyond that.”
When pressed to better define what “from the top down” meant in terms of possible suspects, the source refused to elaborate.
“You’re a smart guy; read between the lines,” the source said.

Endless scandal is a given if Hillary wins the White House!

If Hillary Clinton wins Tuesday, she’ll head into office under the cloud of two major FBI investigations, including one that’s reportedly “likely” to lead to an indictment.
On Wednesday, Fox News’ Bret Baier reported that the bureau’s probe of possible corruption involving the Clinton Foundation — and, presumably, Clinton’s role as secretary of state — is “far more expansive” than had been reported.
Sources with “intimate knowledge” of the probes told Baier the FBI has turned up “a lot of evidence” — and that the probes “will continue to, likely, an indictment.”
If, that is, they’re not quashed by higher-ups at the Justice Department.
The foundation probe, it turns out, has been under way for a year. On Sunday, The Wall Street Journal reported that four FBI field offices have been reviewing possible influence-peddling via the foundation.

Slush funds to pay 'personal consultant' Huma Abedin!

The Clinton Foundation is 'a vast, criminal conspiracy' and 'a slush fund for grifters' with thousands of honest people who are victims after contributing their hard-earned money to what they believed would be used for philanthropic causes.
In truth, the money that was donated to help earthquake victims in India and Haiti and HIV/AIDs sufferers in the Third World has mostly enriched the Clintons and their friends through scams spanning the globe, claims author Jerome Corsi in his book, Partners in Crime: The Clintons' Scheme to Monetize the White House for Personal Profit, which will be published in August.

FBI Reportedly Found New Huma Abedin emails on Anthony Weiner laptop!

FBI officials have been searching through Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin's emails "under the tightest secrecy by a team at Federal Bureau of Investigations headquarters in Washington," Reuters reported late Thursday, citing law enforcement sources. Two of those sources said it's unlikely that the FBI will make any more public disclosures about those emails, discovered on estranged husband Anthony Weiner's laptop in a separate investigation, before Tuesday's election, but the FBI has been particularly leak-prone in the week since FBI Director Comey informed Congress that agents had discovered emails potentially linked to the investigation of Clinton's private email server.
